Primary Mission

Our primary mission is to prototype a CanSat mini-satellite that will be launched aboard a rocket to an altitude of around 3000 m. Once ejected, the CanSat will automatically detect the descent phase by monitoring changes in altitude computed from air pressure measurements.

• Measure air pressure and temperature throughout the flight
• Calculate real-time altitude from barometric data
• Compute wind speed and air density during descent
• GPS tracking for precise position logging
• Continuous data transmission to ground station
• Simultaneous data logging to SD card for post-flight analysis
• Maintain radio communication after landing for easy recovery
